1 When the day seems long and dreary, and the pathway without cheer,
When the world seems cold and careless and unkind.
When our hearts are sore and weary, and despair draws very near,
Let us turn unto our Father and we’ll find.
There’s a new day,
There’s a true day!
Where a morn of gladness dawning we shall see.
There’s a new life!
There’s a true life!
Where united in that homeland we shall be.
2 When we learn that earth’s vain pleasures turn to ashes in our sight,
Then we’ll hear the still small voice that speaks of love,
When we seek for richer treasures in God’s realm of good and right,
Then we’ll hear this whispered message from above.
There’s a new joy!
There’s a true joy!
Helping others, healing wounds and soothing pain.
There’s a new day!
There’s a true day!
When the sun of love shall never set again.
3 When our heads are bowed in sorrow, and our eyes with tears are dim,
And we seem so far away from those most dear,
Just remember that tomorrow which is promised us by Him,
Let us know that wondrous joy is now and here.
There’s a new day!
There’s a true day!
Where a morn of gladness dawning we shall see.
There’s a new life!
There’s a true life!
Where united in that homeland we shall be.
